spectre - saving by specific subcircuit

swdesigner

Is it possible to tell spectre to save all nodes or terminal currents within a certain subckt? It's trivial in Hspice, you could do

 

save all Xtop.Xsub.*

 

I believe there's even a way to use the wildcards to get it to only do the top-level within that subcircuit, but I don't recall it..

 

Any ideas? How would it be done through the ADE, without messing with the netlist?

     Thanks it works for all terminals named VDD.

    However, if i specify the following to match all my VDD terminals of the subckt(VDDA, VDDD,VDD_1P2V, and so on), the simulator exits with a segmentation fault(SPECTRE-18)

    save *:VDD* sigtype=subckt depth=2
